Data-Driven Cricket Ratings Reveal Undervalued Players
Researchers have introduced a new analytical method using data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate cricket players. By focusing on peer comparisons rather than isolated statistics, this approach aims to help franchises identify undervalued batters and bowlers. The method allows high-level teams to make more informed and objective decisions regarding player recruitment, retention, and match selection by assessing overall efficiency across multiple metrics.
